The city of Feiguo opposite here was named Zhuhu. It was originally captured by Chu and changed its name to Xiangben after being renamed as an important strategic fortress. At this time, it was Zhuhuhuhuwei of Feiguo.

The Yishi on the opposite side of the river stationed a brigade. The brigade commander was Yu Tu, a native of Chu Luyang who was partnered with Shu Qingwang. After the expansion, he had been promoted to the brigade commander.

Before the order was issued, Yu Tu was called by Meng Sheng to have a conversation. The general idea was that the farming of the country of Fei was suffering, and it was not easy to escape here. If you can help, please help. If you pursue the soldiers by the river, you might as well drive away the chasers without firing a gun.

In fact, there have been some friction here many times before. As a senior leader of the Mohist school, Meng Sheng’s conversation with Yu Tu and other brigade commanders was actually encouraging them to “create friction.”

The first division was transferred and the sixth division was transferred here, not only because most of the soldiers in this division were a group of people who had just experienced the new life and were full of hatred and anger towards the old era, but also because the large number of people in the Sixth Division were the "suffering oneself" school.

There are open factions within the Mohist school, and it is strictly forbidden to exist in the form of secret groups. All factions can express their own meanings on their own premise of abiding by the Mohist school's common program.

However, all expressions must not exceed the scope of the Mohist common program. It is strictly forbidden to organize secret groups, and the external environment is not so cruel. The Mohist needs to unite self-cultivation farmers, handicraftsmen and merchants. In addition, many theories have different interpretations, so they do not cause division.

The mainstream opinion is the appropriate faction. Most of the radical faction in the "suffering oneself" faction are proud of themselves and the world's ambitions. While they are full of hatred for the nobles, they are also dissatisfied with the Mohist and Yue Kingdom in a semi-cooperation, acquiesced by many nobles in Yue Kingdom in the direct transformation, using slaves to run salt workshops, and developing planting industries.

They called themselves "pure Mo people" and firmly opposed the compromise between the Mohist and other countries, especially believed that the Mohist school is now completely powerful to benefit more people and even to the world, but they have not taken any action. They have expressed some radical opinions many times for this.

Most of the faction are young people. They are full of fighting spirit and energy, and are a very good group of young people.

In some previous internal disputes between the Mohist schools, they were criticized, but they also became the pillar force that most supported the Mohist upper class in the debate against some people's belief that "Si Shang was built alone".

From being criticized too impulsive to being praised for its firm position, it is not only a need for internal disputes, but also a manifestation of the growing power of the Mohist school.

Now they have been transferred from Hangou to guard the border of the river of hope that the land-sealed farmers in Fei's country regard as the Praise Land.

Miles away from the west bank of the river.

More than a dozen farmers in tattered clothes hid in the grass, watching carefully at the situation behind. When they heard the soft barking of dogs behind, they were so scared that a baby opened his mouth to cry. The mother's black hands covered with dust and sweat were pressing firmly against the baby's mouth, for fear of crying.

The child was so anxious that he kicked his legs and shook his head, but the mother's hand did not release it.

No mother doesn’t feel sorry for her children, but if she cries at this time, her escape will be over.

When you are arrested, the leader will be punished with "slaying" and your nose will be cut off, while the rest will be cut off.

If there are too many people who flee, they may be killed. As for whether to kill or not, it is a sentence from the nobles, and there is no inscription, because the "Order of the Confinement" stipulates that the nobles have the right to increase the handling of peasants in the fiefdoms with serious circumstances.

The reason for the punishment of cutting ears is that the punishment of chopping the toes will affect work.

Cutting off your ears is nothing, it's not death.

However, they have already escaped here, only a few miles away from Yushui. If they are caught back at this time, they will be unwilling to die.

I have been a farmer in the fiefdom for hundreds of years, but I have actually become accustomed to it.

I once had to hunt, chop firewood, ice, mow grass, farm, and weaving for my master... Only after doing these "businesses" can I return to my hut to do my own thing.

Serfs are not slaves.

Serfs have their own production tools and small pieces of land. What the nobles took away not all the labor of slaves, but took away the labor of serfs and let the serfs rely on their own small pieces of land to support themselves.

Even so, even though many people have been used to it for hundreds of years, songs such as "The Rat" have been sung by farmers, and there are often people who flee.

However, the tools were simple, the yield was low, and life was not easy after the escape, but after all, it was better than before. This was the reason why Confucius sighed at the old woman in Mount Tai, "The harsh government is more powerful than the tiger."

After the Mohist family gained a foothold in Sishang, many farmers who had been trapped in the village fiefdom for their whole lives finally had the opportunity to hear a fantasy called "Hope".

Some people heard some rumors when they were conscripted for labor and built city walls; some people heard some rumors in some salt and grinding mills outside the village community; some people heard some rumors while transporting food for their owners.

These rumors are like thatched grass in the land in spring. After a spring rain, they suddenly appear, and then sprout and roots, and they cannot be removed even if they are thirsty.

The "Playland" that is easy to humming began to be sung among farmers. It is said that when crossing the river, someone will be able to pick up the other side. After three to five years of cultivation, you can get some money and iron tools loans, allowing you to cultivate a hundred acres of land, and even five people can get a cow.

Moreover, those lands belong to their own. In the future, as long as they pay the tax of Shiwu Tax for twenty years, and someone in the family has served in the army, the land can be sold, as long as someone wants it.

As for the school and literacy, it is too long for these people. Just rumors about land and taxes are enough to make them want to escape.

They didn't know that what Si Shang was most short of labor and the population was the most short of population. Now, not to mention just a small-scale escape, the farmers in the fiefdom of Fei State all fled. With the Mohist financial resources and organizational capabilities, and the ability of private workshops to urgently need manpower to expand production, they can be absorbed.

They just need to know that crossing the river is the "paradise".

In the grass, the child who was covered by a fierce and trembling hand twitched a few times and finally stopped moving. The barking of the dog in the distance seemed to gradually get farther away. The mother hurriedly let go of her hand and quickly looked down at the fainting baby.

A man next to him squatted down, stretched out black and muddy, and his long nails pinched the baby's nose and said, "The man who was traveling to the sky that day said, fainted and pinched here."

After pinching it a few times, maybe the child should not die, so he actually woke up.

The "Mo Structure" mentioned by the person who pinched people was the person sent by the Mohist family to move around the countries of Si Shang. They were giving medicine on the surface and curing diseases, but secretly spreading some things. Although the nobles of various countries hated each other, the Mohist family's bronze cannon flashed and they dared not speak out.

The song "Perfect Land" is also spread by the traveling "Mo Structure". There are mills built near some villages and communities, where a bunch of farmers gather at night... listening to stories.

I have heard so many stories. The life that seemed very reasonable but was a bit bitter, but in addition to the bitter taste, there was a hint of unreasonable anger.

The story of these dozen people's escape is just a microcosm of hundreds of fugitives on the lands of Fei, Yue, Xue, Lu and even Song.

Or newborn.

Or return to the fiefdom, cut off your ears, or even punish them as slaves.

At this moment, when the child finally woke up and howled and cried, the leading man said, "You can't delay any more, it's just a few miles away. Run over! Run over and you can live the life in "Perfect Land"! As long as you have some strength and the Mo family gives iron tools, how can you live worse than at home?"

Their escape has attracted the attention of the chasing of the dead. The dog barking just now came from the team chasing them.

These dozen people had no strength. When they heard the word "Playland", they struggled to stand up.

I grabbed a handful of grass to fill my already hungry stomach; my dry lips sucked the morning dew, and my tongue was rough like an old cow rolled over the weeds in early autumn, as if I had the strength to run towards the river and never avoid anything again.

The leading man was the strongest. He took the child from the woman's hand, put it under his armpit, galloped forward, shouting: "Don't look back, just run forward! Don't look back even if you die of father and mother!"

Their physical strength had been overdrawn. A few people ran a few steps and fell to the ground, but struggled to stand up and shaking their bodies forward.

The sound of horse hooves behind them was getting closer and closer, and the stirrups of the Mo family had already been introduced to Feiguo. These people who captured the farmers who fled to escape also used the stirrups used by the Mo family to benefit the world to chase these fugitives.

A vicious dog rushed to a man who fell to the ground and bit the man's legs hard.

The man's hands burst out and inserted into the soil, just like a poplar tree beside him laying his roots, trying to break away from the evil dog behind him.

The severe pain of biting is nothing. The man raised his head and kept looking at the river bank not far ahead. He might have forgotten that there was a vicious dog biting behind him. All he thought to himself: Why can't he stand up? It's about to reach the river bank...

None of the people who ran away in front turned around. This is the rule set when escaping. Don’t look back if anyone is caught. Even if it is children, parents, husband and wife, if one can run away, there will be no hope of reaching the paradise if you look back.

When the person crawling forward on the ground heard the sound of the evil dog biting again in his ears, he finally realized that he was dragged by the evil dog.

When he woke up, severe pain in his legs also came, but he did not scream.

The woman running in front was his wife. Even though there was a rule before escaping that she would not care about the person caught behind her, even if she was a close relative, he believed that her wife was just running with everyone, chasing the child she was holding by others, and did not know that she had been knocked down, otherwise she would have to turn around.

Everything in front of him seemed to have slowed down. The man lying on the ground looked at his wife staggeringly, his heart skipped a beat, and he said to himself: "Don't look back!"

Fortunately, or unfortunately, the woman just tripped up by the stone and did not look back, but continued to chase the person who helped hold the child forward.

People lying on the ground want to laugh, but they dare not laugh, because once they open their mouths, they may be heard howl.

It seemed that the evil dog had torn off another piece of meat from the calf, which should have been torn along the texture. It bit one, as if he was peeling leeks at home. The evil dog must have pulled along the texture and tore it hard, and a large piece of flesh would be peeled off after brushing it.

He thought, he couldn't shout it out, and he would be caught when he called out his wife.

He still had a little dream of living a good life with his wife in Si Shang Pao, so he looked back at his legs with his strength to determine if he had an illusion just now, and found that a large piece of flesh had been torn off from his calf.

So he thought: "Even if you don't die, you can't do anything. Well... it's useless to get there."

Then, the moment he was about to shout out because of the severe pain, he pulled out one of his hand inserted into the soil, bit it hard in his mouth, choking his mouth and not making a scream.

OK...

I don’t have to bite my fingers very much, but fortunately there are four or five, which is enough to bite for a while.
Chapter completed!
